the opposite would be more impressive

Prior to the four years I did 23 years pretty much continuously drunk
but that's not something worth celebrating.

I've never been cool enough to do drugs

yeah ... you might have misunderstood what alcohol is ... no wonder you're shit at drinking

(well that went better than expected, Wed 1 Oct 2014, 11:35, closed)

For most people (about 95%) alcohol is a harmless self-regulating drug....
...they have a few drinks then they begin to feel it and they stop. That doesn't happen to alkies (the remaining 5%). Once I started drinking I had to drink more and more and more and more until I either passed out or was locked up

Now with "Drugs", on the other hand, - smack, crack, nicotine, even caffeine - these are additive to most people (about 95%) it's only about 5% who don't get addicted to these.

Alcoholics are the 5% of people who get addicted to alcohol. That's what makes alcohol very different to other drugs.

When you are giving up smoking no-one would even think of offering you a fag and you get all the encouragement you need. But if you are an alcoholic and you've quit drinking people think it's nonsense because they don't see it as an addiction. They think because they can just take it or leave it it means you'll be able to just stop if you wanted too. This makes alcohol addiction very different to addiction to other drugs.

Hope that makes sense.
